Satellite phones are mobile communication devices that connect to satellites orbiting the Earth rather than relying on terrestrial cellular networks. This enables them to function in remote areas where conventional mobile phone service is unavailable or unreliable. Satellite phones transmit voice, text, and data by sending signals to a satellite, which then relays the communication to a ground station or another satellite phone. They are particularly valuable in situations such as maritime, expedition, military, emergency response, and disaster recovery, where users may operate outside the range of regular mobile networks. Satellite phone technology typically includes features like rugged design for harsh environments, global coverage, and, in some models, built-in GPS functionality for location tracking. The ability to maintain communication in isolated regions makes satellite phones essential for various professionals, adventurers, and emergency services.
